PCS orders to Fort Stewart come with a long list of decisions — housing, schools, cars, and where your household goods are going to sit while you sort it all out. If you need storage — for a gap between quarters, a deployment, or a full family move — Sid’s Self Storage in Pembroke is 25 minutes north of post and set up for exactly this kind of thing.
Here’s what soldiers and military families need to know.
Why Fort Stewart soldiers choose Sid’s Self Storage
- 24/7 gate-code access — you’re on your own schedule, not the office’s. Nights, weekends, holidays, before formation, after formation. It’s your unit.
- Month-to-month rentals — no long-term contract. Extend as long as you need, cancel when you’re done.
- Drive-up, ground-floor units — no elevators, no stairs, no long carries. Back your truck up and unload.
- Instant online rental — sign your agreement and pay in about five minutes. Gate code by email right away. Useful when you’re mid-move and don’t have time to visit an office.
- Local ownership — call (912) 574-4473 and get a real person, not a national call center that doesn’t know Fort Stewart from Fort Bragg.

PCS storage tips from local experience
Reserve early — especially during PCS season
May through August is peak. If your report date is in that window, reserve your unit at least a month out. Units fill up fast and prices climb when inventory is tight.
Set up access for someone else if you’ll be deployed
Your spouse, a family member, or a trusted friend can be added to the account. If you’re single and deploying, set up a Power of Attorney so someone can access your unit for emergencies or gear you need shipped downrange.
Right-size for your situation
Deployment gear only, no household? A 5×10 is usually plenty. Small family or a partial household? 10×10. Full family PCS or long-term overseas assignment? 10×20 gives you room to organize and access without unpacking half the unit.
Document your inventory
Take photos of everything before you close the unit. Keep a written inventory (a phone note works). If you ever need to file an insurance claim or a household goods claim, you’ll have the evidence ready.
Protect appliances and electronics
Defrost refrigerators completely and leave the door propped open once in storage. Drain washing machines. For electronics, remove batteries and pack in dry conditions. Concrete floors can wick moisture — elevate valuables on a pallet or 2x4s.
Keep your gate code and account info handy
Save the email with your gate code somewhere you can access from a phone or overseas. If a family member needs into the unit while you’re deployed, they’ll need it.
